    the thing is smaller than i thought. it came all taped up on a junkyard motor that i changed. measured 60mm inductor and 65mm exhaust outlet. so basically too small for a mild v8 and too big for a 4 popper?


    maybe i can put it on my pickup- stock 351 f150 e4od trans

    That would be fun. We had someone make 400 to the wheels with a 35/40 hybrid so I don't really think for a stock to stockish engine it's as bad as made out to be.

    x2 as it all depends on your goals and application. Heck, they make enough power to split a stock block :(

    i have a s400 75mm for my drag car im building and just ran across this turbo. the sad part is i just got all the parts from the machine shop with hyper pistons to build a mild 302 for my falcon :doh: also i have a friend looking to upgrade his turbo on a 2.4 in a dodge shadow but i think it will be too laggy for him.

    on the other hand i could possibly put it on my pickup, its main duty is for pulling a trailer and driving in snowy conditions.

    I have one on a 4 cylinder detroit feeding a supercharger. Works good too!

    How many blades does the compressor have? I have an 8 bade 60mm inducer feeding my car, no dyno results yet but it pulls hard all the way through the gears. The 6 blades are good for around 550hp on the map, and the 8 blades(58 mm inducer) are supposed to be good to around 470hp. There is a 7 blade that is good to somewhere in between also.
